Iran says it seized two vessels for maritime violations, reports Tasnim
Iran’s Revolutionary Guards Navy seized two vessels for what it described as maritime violations and transferred them to Iranian shores, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reports.
In a statement, the Guards says the ships, which they identified as the MSC Francesca and the Epaminodes, were detained for “operating without the required authorization and for manipulating navigation systems,” adding that this endangered maritime safety.
